Super Bowl XLVI from Indianapolis (2/5/12)

New England vs. New York Giants

Betting Notes: Gamblers will have to choose between a pair of red-hot teams in the finale. Since losing at home to the Giants (20-24) in Week 9, the Patriots have won 10 straight (6-4 ATS). Ironically, New York dropped four consecutive and five of six games after beating New England. Then, the Giants closed the regular season with two wins and ripped off another three in the playoffs, two coming on the road. The Patriots went 6-2 on the road this season, losing at Buffalo (31-34) in Week 3 and to Pittsburgh (17-25) in Week 8. The Giants posted a 7-3 record both SU and ATS away from home. The Patriots didn't play indoors during the regular season. The Giants played three games in a dome or under a retractable roof. In those encounters, New York went 2-1 both SU and ATS, and all three games went ‘over’ the number.
